Objectives/hypothesis: Investigate the localization mechanisms of bone marrow stromal cells following transient ischemia-reperfusion injury in a murine flap model.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Methods: A cutaneous flap based on the inferior epigastric artery was elevated, and transient ischemia of 3.5 hours using a microvascular clamp was achieved. Fucoidan was injected intravenously 24 hours before the ischemic period. Following the period of ischemia, radiolabeled bone marrow stromal cells were injected intravenously, and radioactivity was determined postoperatively.

Results: Attenuation of the uptake of bone marrow stromal cells into postischemic tissue was observed in those mice treated with fucoidan as indicated by gamma counts measured in the flaps when compared with controls (P < . 001).

Conclusions: Decreased uptake of radiolabeled bone marrow stromal cells into postischemic tissues pretreated with fucoidan indicates selectin-mediated bone-marrow stromal cell recruitment in a murine cutaneous flap model.

Yu-Ping-Feng-San (YPF) is a famous classical Chinese medicine formula known for its ability to boost immunity. YPF has been applied to enhance the immune status of tumor patients in clinical practice. However, there is still a lack of research on its immune regulatory effects and mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment.

Cytokine storm syndromes such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), and COVID-19 cytokine storm (CCS) are characterized by markedly elevated inflammatory cytokines. However clinical measurement of serum cytokines is not widely available. This study examined the clinical utility of C-reactive protein (CRP) and ferritin, two inexpensive and widely available inflammatory markers, for distinguishing HLH from AOSD and CCS.

The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is closely related to aging and degenerative diseases. Curcumin exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and has been extensively used in anti-cancer and anti-aging applications. Studies have shown that curcumin can promote osteogenic differentiation, autophagy and proliferation of MSCs.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. The inadequate understanding of MSCs and their heterogeneity can impact the immune environment, which may be the cause of the good outcomes of MSCs-based therapy that cannot always be achieved. Recently, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) showed great potential in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases due to their immature properties compared with MSCs.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is prevalent in adults and is characterized by the accumulation of mature B cells in the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and spleens. Recent progress in therapy and the introduction of targeted treatments [inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTKi) or inhibitor of anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2i) protein (venetoclax)] in place of chemoimmunotherapy have significantly improved the outcomes of patients with CLL. These advancements have shifted the importance of traditional predictive markers, leading to a greater focus on resistance genes and reducing the significance of mutations, such as TP53 and del(17p).
